Pseudo Illusions System v1.0​

This is my first time creating an entire spell in Lua! In my map, I needed illusions that could mimic normal units while being easy to add, level up abilities, remove abilities, and do everything a normal unit can do.

To meet these needs, I stepped out of my comfort zone with GUI-based triggers and dove into the challenges of scripting. It was a tough journey full of struggles, but I learned a lot from everyone—and even from every AI—along the way. :xxd:

I've also just added a Jass version.

Big thanks to the Hive Workshop Discord for their endless wisdom and support!

Features​

Creates units that behave like illusions, dealing reduced damage and taking increased damage.
Copies the target unit's abilities and items.

Installation​

Copy the Pseudo Illusions System folder to your map.
Copy or create these three abilities with the exact rawcodes:
  • API0: Inventory Lock
  • API1: Trigger Ability
  • API2: Metamorphosis (used as a visual timer)
Copy or create an "I"-prefixed version of units in the Object Editor (e.g., Oake → Iake).
Make sure to set up all the required Object Editor data (see documentation for details).

Note: I've included a PSDillusionIcon.psd file for creating blue-tinted icons to represent illusions.

Update​

  • Added Jass version.
